It is registered for the control of Summergrass, Crowsfoot Grass and Wintergrass in a range of warm and cool-season turfgrass species. This formulation of Pendimethalin is a proven performer and offers an economical and reliable option for pre-emergent weed control for turf and irrigation channel situations.

Key Features

  • Offers an economical form of pre-emergent weed control for turf and irrigation channels.
  • Low chemical scheduling (Schedule 5 – Caution), lower PPE requirements.
  • High-loaded formulation, 435g/L.
  • Good turf safety characteristics, when used on established, high-cut turf situations.
  • Predictable residual performance with a half-life of around 30-40 days.
  • Reduced hydrocarbon solvent loading in the product, over some other forms of pendimethalin.
  • Low solubility and very high soil binding capacity, offering limited leaching potential.
  • No withholding period.

Mode of Action

GROUP D HERBICIDE

Pendimethalin, the active ingredient in Battalia 435 is a member of the dinitroaniline (DNA) herbicide group (Group D). The primary mode of action of Battalia 435 Herbicide is to inhibit microtubule formation in cells of susceptible weeds which are an important part of the cell division process.

As a result of restricted cell division, growth of the emerging weed seedling is prevented, eventuating in death due to lack of available food reserves.

Because Battalia 435 does not translocate a great deal from the site of uptake within the plant, it is necessary for the emerging weed seedling’s roots to absorb pendimethalin from the soil. Pendimethalin binds to organic matter and clay materials and primarily stays within the top few centimetres of soil.

Selectivity in turf is caused by differences in germination depth of susceptible grass seedlings that absorb the pendimethalin in the top layer of soil, compared to the growing points in the turf’s roots system that is at a greater depth and is unable to uptake the pendimethalin.
